GlossaryTRPV2

protein channel in cells activated by heat and stress

TRPV2 is a type of protein found in the cell membranes that acts as an ion channel, allowing certain ions like calcium to pass into the cell. It is activated by high temperatures and mechanical stress, playing a role in various physiological processes, including pain perception and the regulation of hair growth.
